Ted,

The x86 pricing curve is the MHz/price curve which Intel has created to kill off the competition.

PIII 550- $686
PIII 500- $440
PIII 450- $246
Celeron 433- $96

A small drop in MHz correlates to a huge drop in price. Intel has carefully constructed this curve to keep the K6 family unprofitable, and to try to push AMD out of business.

When AMD has the fastest CPUs, where does Intel fit on this curve?
